Team/Group Coaching & Facilitation

Coaching and facilitating the activities of groups and work teams offers unique challenges and opportunities that are quite different from coaching individuals. In coaching teams and facilitating group activities, group dynamics, communications, ownership, role clarification and attention to "process" are extremely important to the team’s ability to accomplish its goals. Furthermore, an often overlooked aspect of team-building and group facilitation is the role and motivations of each individual who comprise the group. Our process and approach respects the needs and motivations of the group as a whole as well as the individuals who comprise it.

Examples of team coaching services include:

• Scenario Building—Developing Possibilities, Envisioning contingencies
• Clarifying Roles and Individual Responsibility
• Developing Influencing and Conflict Management Skills
• Managing Change in the context of Navigating Transition
• Integrating individual and team motivation for Optimal Performance
• Creative Thinking--Developing Innovative Solutions to Complex Problems
